Description

This is small group jazz at its very best. After casting off the restraints of the bossa nova years and dabblings in popish fusion stuff, hear Getz doing what he does best - playing gorgeous tenor with some great sidemen. Stan really stretches out here - including a fast 'What Is This Thing Called Love'- but even though it was one of his last recordings, not much of the butter seems to have run out of his tone. He sounds irristable on the opening 'El Cahon' and all throughout the CD he weaves long flowing lines through and around the chords - a masterly show of phrasing. Mention should alsomore… be made of Kenny Barron and the rhythm section. They accompany Stan perfectly, diggin in or mellowing out accordingly. Barron further proves himself to be one the very best - funky and probing comping throughout and his solo on 'I Can't Get Started' is jaw-dropping. He ends up playing out the track on his own! Although taken from a live gig, sound quality and recording are excellent. Highly recommended. (It's companion,'Serenity' is from the same date and is just as good.)
